  • Active Campaign

The pub has recently had a complete renovation along with a new landlord. The newly decorated bar gives the pub a fresh appearance and there are now three ales available, one of which is a local guest beer. With its locality to the USAF base in the village, it provides US visitors a taste of a real English pub with real ale.

They now have regular events such as quiz nights, live music and karaoke.

Active Campaign

After being well run for 37 years by the same publicans, this pub closed in October 2024. It is currently being advertised as To Let. As a central hub for the community, there is great desire for this pub to be re-opened. There is an small group of locals within the village of Croughton who are actively gathering information and support to ascertain how this might be possible. There is also support from the wider community for this to happen. In a central location within the village and on the main road through it, this site has excellent potential to once again serve the community, those on the nearby base and to welcome passers-by.

See the group's website and Facebook page for more details.
